Bernadette Peters would have been perfect for Glinda but compared to her delicate, benevolent character design she came across as too ambivalent and gravelly voiced(it also sounded like she was trying to put on a part-English part-French accent), while Oliver Platt may be unrecognisable but it did sound like he was channelling Dom DeLuise but wasn’t really all that funny in doing so. Lea Michele’s singing is amazing of course but her acting is rather unemotive and shrill and Dan Aykroyd and Patrick Stewart are wasted in under-written and dumbed-down roles(Aykroyd also came across as too abrasive and stern for a leader). Megan Hilty, Hugh Dancy, Jim Belushi and Kelsey Grammar are perfect as well for their characters too.īut others don’t make the grade. The voice cast are a mixed bag, with Martin Short the stand-out, he may be on autopilot at times and has lacklustre material but his maniacal and sometimes amusing voice-work is the most enthusiastic of the whole cast. ![]() ![]() Toby Chu’s score is pleasant and whimsical in the way that most of the songs are not When the World is a catchy and beautiful song and by far the highlight of the soundtrack credit should go to the writers for trying to give Jester a back-story(the closest we actually get to learning about the characters) and Toto is adorable and entertaining, the only character who is really likable. There are a few glimpses of good detail in the animation, like the rainbow, Dainty China Country, Wiser’s chest and the grainy colour for the tree. There are worse animated films out there and Legends of Oz: Dorothy’s Return isn’t from personal view as terrible as has been said but it is not a particularly good film either and one of the weaker Oz incarnations(with only 1978’s The Wiz being worse, the best of course being the timeless 1939 MGM classic), even when judged on its own merits rather than a direct comparison. Legends of Oz: Dorothy’s Return judging from the terrible reviews was a film that I watched with low expectations, but as a fan of animation and think the voice cast to be very talented the film did deserve a fair chance. ![]()
